Bullish on exposing the obvious correlation between low IQ, uninspired art, bigoted takes and high follower counts in social media… and how the ubiquitous usage of US English enables this by turning otherwise well defined words into Trojan horses, by highjacking their etymology.

Did you know san-go means 3/5 and mi-roku means 3/6 in Japanese?

That's two days to celebrate our feudal lovebirds!

Sango also means "Be Skillful" and Miroku means "Divine Grace". What could be better inspirations than the etymology of two star-crossed names?

Scathach-Skadi

Another name for Skadi is Öndurguð, which means “ski god” in old Norse. One etymology theory regarding her name is that the original form of “Scandinavia” means “Skadi’s Island”. It could also mean “harm” and is a cognate with the English “scathe”.

Day 2 - Dandelion. I ❤️ language, esp. etymology. I assumed the "lion" bit was describing the flower, but no! Dandelion comes from French for "lion's teeth", because of the jagged leaves. In French, they're "pissenlit" ("wet the bed") b/c they're a diuretic!

Staying in the hip with the origin of the word "obturator"! Obturator is derived from the Latin "obturo" meaning "to stop or block up", like the way the obturator membrane closes the obturator foramen in the pelvis.

Happy Thursday! The term "hyoid" is derived from the Greek "huoeidēs", meaning shaped like the letter upsilon (υ). Can you name any other anatomical structures that are named for Greek letters?
